Government needs to start over

To the Editor:When was the last time financial advisor Dave Ramsey told callers facing financial hardship that spending more money was the solution to their debt problem? How many private companies solve their expensive health care plans by adding more users for free? Why might legislators actually want more citizens beholden to a federal government they pay no tax into (47%), while extracting huge benefits from everybody else?Welcome to the United States, where government's solution to every significant problem facing us is spending more of China's money. Welcome to the 18th Congressional District, where Zack Space favors enslaving as many citizens as possible to the government's handout machine. Far too many times beginning with Wilson and FDR, the "general welfare" clause of our Constitution is construed to cover every possible human hardship you can conceive of. We have a right to everything, and if we don't have it, then those who do are "privileged" and their property confiscated. This May primary season, I urge you to discover the uniqueness of Hombre Liggett, Republican candidate for our 18th District. His passion is a return to the Constitution as the bedrock of our individual freedoms. He understands the historical context behind the document, the Founders' overarching belief in extremely limited federal government, and their attempts to flee tyranny in the form of an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient government. Hombre's passion is your freedom to be the best person you can be with as little government intrusion as possible. Take a close look at Hombre Liggett for Congress.
